Five Tips For The Perfect Dried Flower

The five key areas that I discuss for ensuring perfect dried everlasting flowers that will really make all the difference to achieving naturally dried, colourfully textured dried flowers are:

1.) Cutting & Conditioning
2.) Drying techniques
3.) Stoarge
4.) When to cut
5.) Unique ingrédients

If you have been thinking about creating everlasting arrangements using your own garden grown flowers and have had limited success with drying, or are concerned about the quality of dried flowers you can achieve, then this video shares exactly how to ensure sucessfull dried everlastings every time. Perhaps you have been buying dried flowers that you now realise have been treated with chemical treatments such as bleach. It does take time, energy and research to find more sustainable alternatives. I believe that each of us can make a difference individually to helping the environment. Starting with making your own dried flowers, I discuss the practical steps that you can take to ensure a really beautiful, naturally dried flower that can be kept for many years.

Thank you for this! I'm a straight white male and have always bought myself flowers, one bouquet dried out incredibly well just in a dry vase and I've been trying to recreate it, so this helped tremendously!

[micahlovesjesus]

Wow. I’m an absolute beginner but I love flowers and sometimes wanna keep them around a bit longer! God’s pieces of art are just so lovely and I’m glad you made this detailed video teaching us how to preserve them! Thank you!

[karenhodder]

So glad you're back. You make the best videos! So clear, concise and with beautiful imagery. Just a joy to watch.

[petitsjoujoux]

Thank you so much for your advice! I'm on a budget when it comes to purchasing flowers, but if I can have beautiful dry flowers, it can extend the amount of time I get to enjoy them!

This video has been the most helpful out of the TONS of videos I've watched on drying flowers. This is my 2nd year ( last year I really did not pay much attention to what I was doing) so this year I really wanted to be mindful of keeping everything natural but preserved well. Thank you sharing your extensive knowledge, especially about prepping and keeping out of direct sunlight and storing. WOW, what a difference from last year in color for my flowers and grasses!

[wendycullingworth]

Ah! You're back! Hooray!
Great information as always, and great quality flowers to watch you work with. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge.

I’ve missed you on YouTube Kathryn! I joined you on your Christmas dried wreath making course online and I’ve been growing some everlastings this year so I’m pleased to see you back. Keep the videos coming! Best wishes, Amanda

What a blessed people were are to have your time and knowledge. Thank you. One question I have is why are my pressed flowers so badly brittle. I can’t even work with them. Help please

[andreap]

Dear Kathryn, I watched all your Videos on YouTube again and again, they are so helpful and inspiring. Also I enjoy your daily little chat on Instagram. It would be great, if you would make more videos, maybe you give us a tour through your amazing garden.
Anyway, I bought a ticket for your online class in October and I'm looking forward to see you making an autumn wreath.
Best greetings from Germany Andrea
